I'm getting hooked now that the show is focusing more on its mythology than the political/military drama. I'm totally digging the scenes with Baltar on the Cylon's control ship.
The scene where Baltar's body is being tortured by Lucy Lawless while his mind is getting pleasured by #6 struck me as a real turning point for him. I found Lucy's (what number is she again?) reaction to his blurted out affections very intriguing. What do you suppose the significance is there? Was she amazed that he could withstand the pain or struck by his seeming dementia?
Speaking of "speculation fits":
I don't know how much we've heard about the unaccounted Cylon models before, but #6's admonition that We don't talk about them" made be speculate that either they're faulty and gone insane, or have struck out on their own as a whole other Cylon tribe with a different belief system. There's plenty of religious/cultural metaphor writing to be tapped into here. Have I missed a previous clue?
